Description: | This poster, At London's Service, promotes the bridges that span the Thames.
A painting by A Stuart-Hill depicts the bridges that cross the Thames from Westminster towards the City. In the foreground is Waterloo Bridge, which was reconstructed during the Second World War. A temporary bridge was place on top of the existing 19th-century construction so that stone arches could be demolished. The new and current bridge was completed in 1945 and is known as the 'Ladies Bridge' because the wartime workforce that constructed it was made up mainly of women. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport London at War Cityscape Art and Design | Temporal: | 1943 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
